The land of the Butterflies has given the world of fists 30 World Champions in different divisions, and among those who have reigned at 108 pounds were Carlos Murillo, Jaime Ríos and Roberto Vasquez. This February 7 in the XXXVI edition of KO DRUGS, the Cuban based in Panamá Daniel Matellón ( 10-0-2) will have the opportunity to become world champion by contesting for the Interim World Boxing Association belt against Mexican Erik Omar López García ( 14-4-1).
